After breakfast visit Udaipur The "Lake City", which is a cool oasis in the dry heart of Rajasthan. It is probably the most romantic city in a state where every place has some romantic or exotic tale to tell. The huge City Palace towering over the Lake Pichola is the largest palace complex in Rajasthan. Though it is a conglomeration of buildings built by successive rulers, it manages to retain a surprising uniformity of design and affords a very fine view of the lake and the city from the upper terraces. If you need a place during your tour where you want to relax with laying down with a view to the lake and some beautiful scenery, this is a perfect choice. That why this city called 'VENICE OF INDIA'

Later visit Red Fort (also known as Lal Qila) which was the residence of Mughal emperors in Agra. Constructed around mid of 16th century, this is one of the best Mughal Fort in India but overshadowed by Taj Mahal. Most of the part of Fort is built by Redstone under the rule of Akbar but there were additions inside by Shahjahan with his favourite building material, white marble. There was around 300 structure at one time inside the fort but only 20 left nowadays because of the much of them destroyed over the years by different attacks and by British people also who used the fort as Jail. Even today many parts of the Agra Fort is used by the Indian army and only a few parts are open. Some famous parts of the Fort inside are Sheesh Mahal, The Diwan-i-Aam (the court of the public), Mina Masjid, Diwan-i-Khas (A hall of private gatherings), Khas Mahal, The Anguri Bagh etc.

Orchha is a very good option for a short visit on the way drive to Khajuraho. This small town was built in the year 1501 by King Rudra Pratap Singh. Some of the main attractions in the city are Jahangir Mahal which is a great example of Indo-Islamic architecture style, was constructed by King Veer Singh Deo for the welcome for his friend Mughal King Jahangir’s first visit to Orchha.
